He may, by order, direct Mr. Rao, being the person in charge of or concerned with operating the system, to provide such reasonable technical and other assistance as he considers necessary. Section 29(2) provides for a binding order, not a mere request.

Section 29(2) allows the Controller or an authorised person, by order, to direct any person in charge of or concerned with the operation of the system, data, apparatus or material to give reasonable technical and other assistance he considers necessary. A mere request is not the stated mechanism, and no prior notification is required.
